Let the Lord Shepherd You in the Father’s House, the Mutual Dwelling Place of God and Man!

The Father’s house is a mysterious yet wonderful matter unveiled by the Lord Jesus in John 14. We need to see what the Father’s house is. It is not merely the house where all God’s children dwell and are a part of. The Lord Jesus had to go to the Father and then come back […]

What does the Bible Really Say about the Father’s House and the Many Abodes in John 14?

The Lord Jesus is the good Shepherd, and He takes all-inclusive tender care of all His sheep (John 10) for the Father’s house (John 14).
